be a set with infinite cardinality .

or \ is finite} .

Defination : A collection of subsets of is said to form a tpology on if it satisfies the following three conditions .

If be an finite collection then

If be an infinite collection then

Now we will prove that the collection or \ } is finite forms a topology on .

by defination of .

Also as \ is a finite set .

Suppose be a finite collection of elements of .

are all finite set .

is a finite set as finite union of finite set is finite.

is a finite set .

suppose be an infinite collection of elements of .

are all finite set .

is a finite set as arbitrary intersection of finite set is finite .

is a finite set .

So satisfies all three conditions to be a topology on Hence the collection or \ is finite } is a topology on

Let (G,·) be a finite group, and let S be a set with the same cardinality as G. Then there is a bijection μ:S→G . We can give a group structure to S by defining a binary operation *on S, as follows. For x,y∈ S, define x*y=z where z∈S such that μ(z) = g_{1}·g_{2}, where μ(x)=g_{1} and μ(y)=g_{2}. First prove that (S,*) is a group. Then, what can you say about the bijection μ?

Find the energy spectrum of a particle in the infinite square well, with potential U(x) → ∞ for |x| > L and U(x) = αδ(x) for |x| < L. Demonstrate that in the limit α ≫ hbar^2/mL, the low energy part of the spectrum consists of a set of closely-positioned pairs of energy levels for α > 0. What is the structure of energy spectrum for α < 0?
